My Nonprofit Reviews

Our family has been a donor to Nazareth House Apostolate for 14 years. Before our involvement, they administered humanitarian aid in Sierra Leone, including building, staffing, and funding a school for the village of Kabala. Since then, we’ve seen NHA assist people in need in the United States, after natural disasters, such as hurricanes in Florida and fires in California, and with back-to-school supply and clothing funding for families in Louisville, KY among other places. When they see a need, they fill a need.

NHA has done a lot of good in their local community, as well as globally. Currently, their focus is often on improving the lives of school-aged youth, by providing material support. In a rural community, the injection of charitable funds is important. Money is scarce locally, so drawing on their network of nationwide donors, they can assist children in the rural areas near Louisville.

They help Saloneans in need, plain and simple.

Nazareth House Apostolate receive over 85% of our charitable giving, chiefly, because it is a small organization with over 90% (think it was 96-7%?) of their donations going towards humanitarian aid and *not* frivolitiies.

Four years ago, we learned about NHA via a prayer workshop highlighting their work in the mission field of Sierra Leone. Many Saloneans (Sierra Leone citizens) do not have their basic needs of food, water, shelter and safety met. NHA distributes rice, but, often, are only able to distribute small quantities due to lack of funds and the greatness of the need over there.

Medication is distributed, but in regular doses via the operations manager, James. This prevents poverty convincing the aid recipient that it would be better to sell the medication rather than take it and care for themselves. Anti-worm medication is often distributed because clean water isn't regularly available and parasitic infestation occurs easily in such an environment.

I'm able to relate all of these details to you, because NHA is forthcoming with their missionwork. They are more than happy to show pictures of how your donations are being used.

The staff are very accessible for communication, via phone, email, their website, and Facebook.

Because their focus is on food, medicine, safe housing, and education, many of our secular friends have been comfortable donating to NHA. It is true that it is mission work of a monastery and church in Kentucky, but they distribute aid according to need. They help Saloneans regardless of Muslim or Christian.

Like I previously wrote: They help Saloneans in need, plain and simple.
